Default When Does Vtec Kick In??

well, this may sound stupid but since i just got mine (02 blk/blk), i've been hitting vtec couple times. i noticed it kicks in around 7000 but do you guys know when it kicks in exactly?(for bone stock if it matters...)

WHAT? you just got your car and you're vtecing already? how many miles do you have?? you have to have at least 600 miles before you attempt to exceed 6k rpms, which is when vtec kicks in. Take it easy on your car if you just got it. But once it is broken in, have fun.

Ease off tiger.....

Wait 1000 miles....

But VTEC should kick in from anywhere between 6-7k RPM's..depending on how you're pushing the car...
